1. Ah, the fervour in returning to my flock

@drive1 that second article you link to supports my view of the satirical nature of Lisa Pryor's writing. She is clearly attacking fundamentalist Christian opposition to gay marriage by using their own arguments against them, so that the stupidity and bigotry of their reasoning is made apparent. The article ends with the giveaway:

Before you accuse me of hate speech, I should point out that I bear no grudge against fundamentalists personally. "Love the fundamentalist, hate the fundamentalism" is my policy.

I suppose one chink in this argument is that banning a minority from marrying is utterly unfair, inhumane and intolerant. Kind of like the ban on gay marriage.

What the hell was the point of that article?


Humour in the guise of parody I'd say.

No honey...


What the hell was the point of that bit of patronizing sexism?
